White Bean & Tuna Salad

White bean salad with garlic Parmesan pretzel thins.
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 minced garlic clove
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 -15 oz can white beans, drained and rinsed
2 - 5 oz cans water packed tuna, drained and flaked
1 large tomato, cored, seeded and chopped
1/2 small red onion, chopped finely
1/4 cup chopped parsley


In a small bowl, mix juice, mustard and garlic.  Add oil whisking constantly.  Season with pepper.

Mix beans, tuna, tomato, onion, parsley in a large bowl.  Add dressing and toss to coat.  Taste and adjust seasoning base upon personal preference.

Serve this over mixed greens if you'd like.  Or this can be an appetizer served on toasted crusted bread. Or even eat as is.

I made this Saturday and ate it as a light dinner.  Was craving something salty and crunchy so I ate it with some pretzel thins. YUM!

Takes about 10 mins to prep. and serves about 4 peeps!  About 350 calories per serving.
